Q: What happens if you don't put gravel under concrete?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-forming.htm">concrete forming</a> process will not go as smoothly if you are working directly on the soil or bare bedrock. The lack of a proper gravel layer can also lead to drainage issues below your slab, leading to water issues throughout your lawn and around your foundation.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a balcony and a patio?

• <div><p>Balconies and patios are both outdoor living spaces, but that&rsquo;s where the similarities end. A balcony is an open space built on the second story of a home, while a patio is a structure built directly on the ground in front of or behind a house. Patios tend to be larger than balconies and are often made from concrete, stone, or brick. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/deck-vs-patio-which-works-better.htm">Decks and patios</a> share a similar nature but still have distinct differences. </p></div>

Q: What is the average cost of installing a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>On average, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">cost to install a concrete driveway</a> ranges from <b>$4 to $15 per square foot</b>, depending on the size of the driveway and the type of finish. This project price ranges from <b>$2,340 to $7,500</b> (including removing existing concrete) but can go up to <b>$10,000 or more. </b>Other cost factors include concrete thickness, layout and design, site preparation requirements, base material, accessibility, and location.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required for concrete installations?

• <div><p>Periodic sealing and cleaning to maintain appearance and integrity.</p></div>

Q: Do you need rebar in concrete steps?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete steps need rebar to reinforce the structure and ensure it can hold weight over time. Place a lattice of rebar inside the form before pouring concrete to give the steps their maximum strength. Tie each intersection together with rebar ties to hold the structure all together. Without rebar, concrete steps can sink, crumble, and lose their longevity.</p></div>

Adelino did a great job replacing my front steps. He was respectful a fair price and the best mason person around. He then fixed my bricks on my back patio. They also cleaned up and made the place better than they started.
